polite greeting (it's me, boy)
introduction (i'm the ps5)
establish credentials (speaking to you inside your brain)
establish purpose (leave the girl, we don't need her)
describe what you can bring to the organization (cowboy times in space)

Hiiiii I really love your fic it feels more like a memory, it is BEAUTIFUL I have read it at least three times by now, and I was wondering who were Seers? like, I know you’ve answered for before Burr and the whole Revolution/early America time period, but who comes after??? ex. their version of right now, the civil war (because there NEEDS to be a civil war Seer, it is a need)
hilariously enough I have a single answer that is likely to be unsatisfying to most people and is extremely telling about who I am as a person
so in my mind at least, identifying the Seer has just historically been REALLY hard. In double-checking myself, I think I only stated that Aaron Burr is the first confirmed Seer in hundreds of years; I think I've been consistently playing off the assumption that the last person that everyone agrees Definitely Was A Seer in hindsight because obviously it was politically bad to accept it at the time and probably the official stance of England is still "no she wasn't" with everyone there knowing "yeah she definitely was" was Joan of Arc, so, like. 1430's -> 1750's was the previous gap in "we've identified a Seer that we definitely think is a Seer"
I think as the world modernized, mostly in terms of communication became globalized, Seers became a lot easier to find, to the point where probably by the 2000's the world had it down with respect to "actually identify the current living Seer and test and confirm it" although that in and of itself is likely a huge geopolitical negotiation. And you started to have telegrams by the 1840's, so, like, "Civil War era people have started communicating enough that there isn't another 200-300 year gap" is perfectly plausible
but the only "historical" figure that I personally have noted and personally headcanon to myself at least in between ifmlam and modern day, and this is coming from a perspective of "I bestow the highest honor I know upon you because I respect you so much and I think you're so cool" like not to undermine the sheer amount of impressive the work was by going "what if it was supernatural all along" but rather "this person is the person I can think of who Deserves It The Most", would be Srinivasa Ramanujan . I haven't really headcanoned anyone else as a Seer. so I don't actually have a Civil War answer for you.
what’s your favorite ship?
titanic
hms terror
uss enterprise
ever given (the container ship that blocked the suez canal in 2021)
captain ahab’s whaling vessel
ship of theseus
battleship monopoly token
mclennon
the reason there aren’t any other options is because these are the only ships thatve ever existed. Btw.
t-shirt with the words “high-functioning corpse” printed on it
the set of ships is nonempty and finite
(any reasonable notion of) size induces a total order on the set of equivalence classes of ships of the same size
every nonempty finite total order has a maximum
there exists a ship that is no smaller than any other ship

We're experiencing some severe weather warnings for parts of the new Tornado Alley these next couple of days, so I have some storm safety tips from someone who lives on an open plain with almost literally no natural windbreaks:
1. Have fun and be yourself
2. The tornado is more afraid of you then you are of it
It may not be that deep, but I have a shovel and I will make it as deep as I want.
High key what House of Leaves is meta about
I know not what House of Leaves is but I wholeheartedly trust your comparison and I shall take it as fact!
House of Leaves is a book about a man trying to explore the inside of his new home, which proves substantially more difficult than should be possible, due to its non-Euclidean dimensions.
Except that House of Leaves is actually about a documentary about a man trying to explore the inside of his new home, which proves impossible to document properly, due to its non-Euclidean dimensions.
Except that House of Leaves is actually about an academic paper, which itself is about an alleged documentary about an alleged non-Euclidean home, but none of this can be verified.
Except that House of Leaves is just, like, this fucking stack of papers I found in this old dead guy’s apartment, and, like, I don’t even know if its his or what because like both his eyes were gone and he didn’t have any degrees or anything. I tried asking my friend from the tattoo shop about it but she was fixing up this thumper tattoo right above a girl’s pussy the whole time we were talking; like Thumper from Bambi, and I’m not gonna lie man I was pretty distracted and I just couldn’t [XXXXS XXXX XXXX.

i've survived far worse. i've also died to far less though so who knows
....... starting to have Thoughts about what an Actual Serious PHM fic would Look Like
It's fine to disagree with the IAU about the definition of "planet"; however, if your definition includes Pluto but not Ceres, Orcus, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris or Sedna, you don't actually care what a planet is – you just want the exact list of nine planets you learned in primary school back. Your cute little Pluto-including orbital distance mnemonic ought to be at least seventeen words long, and good fucking luck with the Q!

I appreciate that you included Salacia but not Charon – really threading the needle pedantry-wise there.
Hello!! I was scrolling through your blog (I just reread ifmlam for the 10th time last night oops) and I was wondering if you had any original work you've published- i saw you mention years back being nearly done with a novel and im curious if that went anywhere!
Ive been a big fan of how you write for years now (since...2017 about ha, i think thats when i first read whatever was posted of ifmlam) and ive been wanting to read more published novels lately!
so unfortunately I have..... a little over 200,000 words of original writing (including one complete draft one of a novel-novel and one nearly complete final edited draft of a novella!! the latter, sic semper, is mostly likely to see the light of day first as a series of ten some-odd web novels that once I finish the whole batch I can start releasing and nOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN MY NEXT UPDATE WILL BE WRITTEN BC THEY'LL ALL BE DONE) scattered across six or seven overarching projects and I'm Extremely Picky about releasing my original stuff before I think it's Done so none of it has seen the light of day
the good news is I'm going full independent publishing when I do, have figured out the layout software that I want to use, my mother is EXTREMELY excited to try to act as copyeditor, have hired a friend to do covers and another one developmental editing, the moment that things are Done and I am Happy With The Writing there is not going to be several years of querying for an agent and then Attempting To Sell It To A Publishing House and going through Publishing House Mandated Edits, it'll be free/pay what you want ebooks and print on demand paperbacks released immediately
I.... really thought/ wanted to have the whole sic semper series starting to come out this year! and for a very short while it seemed like things were actually going to get better/ stable! and then they crashed. and I am currently in "working 13hr days constantly overtime" hell, there does not seem to be any clear end in sight, and just.... There Is No Time At The End Of The Day For Writing After That. Maybe One Day. But I Genuinely Don't Know When That'll Happen Next.
if you're looking for good books, though,
I'm always biased towards https://ejadelomax.com/ for good solid heartbreaking cozy fiction (ifmlam interlude chapters were full on inspired by interlude chapters in the Beanstalk series) (and while it is a podcast not a book I did act as science consultant / help write one episode of Second Star To The Left), and then continuing on "if you're in the mood for cozy" The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard is INCREDIBLE
if you're in the mood for fun, tongue-in-cheek scifi I highly recommend Redshirts by John Scalzi (I like his other stuff too, by which I mean I've also read Starter Villain and had a good time, but Redshirts is by far my favorite)
and then my current Genre Of Choice for what I am writing re original fiction and thus what has been my go-to Reading is "fucked up evil empire lesbian space opera" which is a VIBE not a Full Requirement, the three series in order of fucked up-ness that I am Obsessed with there is A Memory Called Empire, The Traitor Baru Cormorant, and Ninefox Gambit
so. lots of good things to read! and hey maybe if a miracle job offer comes through that pays me enough that I can write again there will one day be things from me on the list too! but right now I have the ability to show up at work, sleep, and not much else.
